Q

what were the results of Baddeley’s study

A

recalled immediately from STM
did worse with acoustically similar words

recalled after 20 mins from LTM
did worse with semantically similar

STM coded acoustically (how words sound)

LTM coded semantically (what words mean)

Q

evaluate baddeley’s study

A

+ clear difference between 2 memory stores
+ findings stood the test of time
+ an important step into the development of the multi store model
- artificial stimuli
(not meaningful to participants)
- findings don’t tell us about memory tasks in everyday life
(e.g: meaningful information may be coded semantically)
- may have limited application
